Father McGivney feeding program for the poor kicks-off

The Father McGivney Office – Phil- ippines, in collaboration with the Sisters of the Holy Face of Jesus and Hands for the Poor Founda- tion, launched the Father McGivney Feeding Program last July 20, 2015 at the Holy Face Center in Quiapo, Manila.
At the launching, about 50 chil- dren from the poorest communities around Quiapo area were invited. They were given food, shirt and a short catechism.
The Father McGivney feeding program for the poor was conceived to coincide with the initiatives of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) that de- clared 2015 as the Year of the Poor.
Close to the heart of Fr. Mc- Givney who organized the Knights of Columbus from the penury of Irish migrants to the United States, the feeding program has continued every weekend after the July launch.
￼￼￼￼Presently, the feeding program is brought to the homeless right where they are located around Manila.
